CEL Question

My CEL came on about 5 minutes after I refueled the other day. I assume it is due to not tightening the fuel cap correctly.

About 10 minutes after the CEL went off, I arrived at home and reseated the gas cap.

If this is the cause, will the warning light reset itself after diving for a while, or must it be reset by the dealer?

I have driven about 80 miles since the cycling the gas cap. I do not want to wait too much longer for the CEL to clear just in case it was caused by something else.

I would just take it to your dealer, your warranty should cover it.
